Description

The Set-NetConnectionProfile cmdlet changes the network category setting of a connection profile. A connection profile represents a network connection.

Examples

Example 1: Change the network category of a connection profile

PS C:\> Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceAlias Ethernet1 -NetworkCategory "Public"

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:	CimSession[]
Aliases:	Session
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Aliases:	cf
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-InputObject

Specifies the input to this cmdlet. You can use this parameter, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet.

Type:	CimInstance[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-InterfaceAlias

Specifies an array of names of network adapters.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-InterfaceIndex

Specifies an array of numerical index values associated with the network adapters.

Type:	UInt32[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-IPv4Connectivity

Specifies an array of IPv4 protocol connectivity status values. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

• Disconnected
• NoTraffic
• Subnet
• LocalNetwork
• Internet

Type:	IPv4Connectivity[]
Accepted values:	Disconnected, NoTraffic, Subnet, LocalNetwork, Internet
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-IPv6Connectivity

Specifies an array of IPv6 protocol connectivity status values. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

• Disconnected
• NoTraffic
• Subnet
• LocalNetwork
• Internet

Type:	IPv6Connectivity[]
Accepted values:	Disconnected, NoTraffic, Subnet, LocalNetwork, Internet
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Name

Specifies an array of names of networks with which the connection is currently established.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False

-NetworkCategory

Specifies an array of category types of a network. You cannot set the DomainAuthenticated type by using this cmdlet. The server automatically sets the value of DomainAuthenticated when the network is authenticated to a domain controller. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

• Public - Networks in a public place such as an airport or coffee shop. Your PC is hidden from other devices on the network and can't be used for printer and file sharing.
• Private - Networks at home or work, where you know and trust the people and devices on the network. Your PC is discoverable and can be used for printer and file sharing if you set it up.
• DomainAuthenticated - Networks at a workplace that are joined to a domain.

Type:	NetworkCategory
Accepted values:	Public, Private, DomainAuthenticated
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:	Int32
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Aliases:	wi
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
